Additional Inspection Services

Some properties require more than a standard visual home inspection. SCHI can provide or coordinate additional inspection services depending on the property, client needs and the qualifications required for the specific service.

Specialized Services

Commercial inspections — inspections for commercial properties and buildings.
Pre-listing inspections — identify significant issues before putting a property on the market.
Thermal imaging — infrared imaging can provide additional information about temperature differences, moisture patterns, energy loss and certain electrical or building-envelope conditions.
Radon testing — testing can determine whether elevated radon levels are present; radon cannot be identified reliably by sight, smell or taste.
Water quality — testing options may be available where water quality is a concern.
Sewer camera inspection — where appropriate, camera equipment can help identify conditions inside accessible sewer lines.
WDO / insect inspection — wood-destroying insects and related organisms can cause significant damage and may require specialized assessment.
WETT-related inspections — wood-burning systems may require specialized inspection by appropriately qualified personnel.
Chimney inspection — additional evaluation of chimney and venting components may be appropriate depending on the property.
Pool and spa inspection — additional assessment may be available for pools, spas and hot tubs.
Septic inspection — specialized septic assessment may be appropriate for properties served by septic systems.
Stucco / EIFS assessment — additional attention may be appropriate where exterior cladding and moisture concerns exist.
Mold / indoor-air-quality assessment — where conditions warrant, additional assessment or testing may be recommended.
New-construction inspections — newly constructed properties can still have defects and benefit from independent inspection.
Log-home inspections — log construction has unique components and conditions that warrant specialized attention.

Insurance or Specialized Reports

Some insurers or property owners may request specialized reports such as four-point or wind-mitigation inspections. Availability depends on the property, jurisdiction, insurer requirements and the qualifications required for the specific report. Confirm current availability with SCHI before booking.
